CollectA 88126 & 88127 brown cow and calf

hi picked up these recently does anybody know when they were available as i couldn't see them on the collecta website[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]thanks

They look the regular Hereford 88235 and 88236 from 2008 but it seems they have different numbers in their tags as you described on topic tittle. Curiously, I cannot find these product numbers in CollectA range, could they belong to a discontinued set? Which year can you see marked on them?

Steve, I checked my catalogues back to 2008, I don't have older than that and I can't find that variation in any of them including 2010 catalogue and also in farm sets. Knowing how CollectA works, I suspect the 2010 year is a misinformation and that they are an earlier variation of Hereford cow and calf. Herefords are marked as new in 2008 catalogue and as those are the same mold and marked 2006 and also have an lower product number, I am almost sure they were earlier versions just called brown cow and brown calf not intending to represent any specific breed. They did that also with 88022 thoroughbred mare . It is marked 2006 Procon and it was replaced in 2008 for 88105, the same mold with a different painting. Unfortunately I don't have a 2007 catalogue to be completely sure but I suspect I am right. So, if I do, it means your figures were retired in 2008 what is a long time considering how recent is CollectA range.

You're welcome Steve. I am so convinced that I am right that I'll add that information to Toy Animal Wiki, though, I'll continue searching and if I find that I am wrong, I'll tell it here. I am also moving this topic to main CollectA section on forum once these are unknown figures to most of us.
